Google Sheets is a powerful tool for managing and analyzing data, and one area where it excels is in working with dates. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to use Google Sheets to work with days of the week.

Step 1 – Find DAY OF WEEK.

– To find day of week from date we will use WEEKDAY() formula, Syntax for this formula will be:
=WEEKDAY( Value )
– In our case WEEKDAY() formula will look like this:
=WEEKDAY(C6)

Step 2 – Find DAY OF WEEK for the remaining cells.

– Drag the cell with the formula from bottom right to the remaining cells to find their value automatically.

Step 3 – Find NAME OF DAY IN WEEK.

– For the name of the day of the week we’ll be using TEXT() Formula.

=TEXT(Value, ”Format”)
– In our case formula will be
=TEXT(C6, ”DDDD”)
